So Percussion

For over a decade, Sō Percussion has redefined the modern percussion ensemble as a flexible, omnivorous entity, pushing its voice to the forefront of American musical culture. They return to Texas Performing Arts with two distinct programs. Sō Percussion’s March 11 program includes the world premiere of a Texas Performing Arts co-commissioned new work by Steven Mackey. It will feature guest vocalist Shara Worden, who is lead singer and songwriter for the experimental pop band My Brightest Diamond. The following evening, Sō Percussion performs Steve Reich’s 1971 breakthrough masterpiece Drumming, with the UT Percussion Ensemble and guest vocalists, directed by Tom Burritt.
